Retail sales of new energy vehicles (NEV) in China have continued a downward trend for the sixth month. This decline occurs alongside a reported 80% rise in passenger car exports during June, driven by growth in EV demand abroad.
Coverage from AP News, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal emphasizes a widening gap between struggling domestic demand and rising international performance. The South China Morning Post notes that the persistent decline in EV deliveries has increased industry-wide concerns regarding the domestic market.
